Lost my job due to injury

[Pancake_Fucker]

Hey ns, a few weeks ago i tore my meniscus skiing, and haven't been able to ski or work for a while. My knee has been feeling pretty good the last few days, so I called my boss to say that I was able to work again. She told me they had already hired someone to fill my spot and that I wasn't needed. I don't have enough money to last the rest of the season, and I don't even know if i'll be able to ski anyways. Should I just go home? Anyone else ever had this problem?

I assume you work at a ski resort, if so I would call back and ask if there's any other positions and that you straight up don't have enough money to not be working.

 

[WPoch]

work is tough, that's why I smoke meth.

 

[Pancake_Fucker]

I worked in a kitchen. And now they are filled and don't need me.

 

[youngdtay]

Isn't that kind of illegal?

 

[theBearJew]

Being that he didn't get hurt on the job I don't think so. Especially if he lives/works in an at will state.

 

[ggfski42]

Yeaahhh? Im no lawyer but I don't think they can do that.

 

[AT-AT]

Not at all.

 

[Pancake_Fucker]

It's not illegal but personally I don't think it's very chill to do. But I'm biased on the matter.

No ... Kind of shifty though, that they didn't give you a head's up. But, unless you're injured at work, no one's responsible for keeping your job for you if you can't work due to injury/mental illness. You could apply for state/provincial short term disability but whatever. Why not just get another job ? Somewhere else ? I dunno, but when I got injured, I didn't want to just dip on the lifestyle because I couldn't partake. I stuck around and had fun with my friends at apres even though I couldn't shred.

 

[youngdtay]

Ah that's right, I forgot that it had to be an injury on the job. Anyways, like the.hellion. said, it's pretty unprofessional that they wouldn't give you any notice.

Then find a new job. I mean it couldnt be that hard.. mcdons anything sometime to survive through the season you kno.

Shoot your boss in the back of the head execution style to get revenge.

 

[sNaubi]

She would've gotten so much shit here in Sweden if she fired you because of an injury.

 

[humpty]

apply for the kitchen at the nearest ski resort, they might hire you if you have experience in another kitchen

 

[arnie_grape]

way she goes man I guess your boss is just a dick.

I blew my knee coaching kids at a kid competition but I didn't get compensation/new job cause I was only volunteering. my friend broke his tailbone coaching this year and now he works in customer service

 

[PKNeison]

no wonder they fired you after seeing your NS name.

 

[Tinga]

working in the food industry is the worst. employees are seen as disposable because you don't necessarily need a ton of skills to start and there are a million and one people looking to take your spot. also the profit margins suck so management is looking for every reason to cut down on labor.

 

[Miomo]

Tell us the name of the company. Let's find the Yelp.

 

[Pancake_Fucker]

As much as it sucks I'm not going to name drop.

 

[mski]

Its what terrifies me from sending it anymore

 

[VT_scratch]

pogi

 

[yangumane]

it's a low blow to fire you because of that, but it's not illegal... good luck on finding another job!

 

[Drail]

Why don't you consider this your home? Why leave the mountains every summer? Saskatchewan can't be that exciting.

Find a new job, 'cause that's what you do when you lose your job - you get another one.
